orishiki

“Orishiki” is a hybrid word composed of “Ori ”, taken f rom
Origami, Japanese paper-folding art, and “Shiki ” taken f rom
Furoshiki, Japanese traditional wrapping cloth which is large enough to
wrap and transport goods and gifts, as well as wearing them as
scarves. “ORISHIKI” is a new carrying device consisting of a single
piece of two dimensional structure, constructed of triangular segments
which can be folded like origami, and can wrap things like furoshiki.
The geometric bag is not only idiosyncratic in its appearance but also
in its highly speacialized production process. The unique process can be
applied to just about any productions without losing its unique
product identity.
